Safety information

When you ride your snowmobile, you must know and use the following for your safety. Severe injury or death may result if you ignore any of the following.

Before operating

1. Read the Owner’s Manual and all labels before operating this snowmobile. Be­come familiar with all of the operating controls and their function. Consult a Yamaha dealer about any control or func­tion you do not understand.
2. This snowmobile was not manufactured for use on public streets, roads, or high­ways. Such use is prohibited by law, and you could collide with another vehicle.
3. This snowmobile is designed to carry the OPERATOR ONLY. Passengers are prohibited. Carrying a passenger can cause loss of control.
4. Do not operate the snowmobile after drinking alcohol or taking drugs. Your ability to operate the snowmobile is re­duced by the influence of alcohol or drugs.
5. For safety and proper care of the snow­mobile, always perform the pre-operation checks on page 29 before starting the en­gine. Check the throttle, brake, and steer­ing for proper operation every time before starting the engine. Make sure that the throttle lever moves freely and it returns to the home position when it is released.
6. Apply the parking brake before starting the engine. Never drive the snowmobile with the parking brake applied. This may overheat the brake disc and reduce brak­ing ability.
7. Do not allow anyone to stand behind the snowmobile when starting, inspecting, or adjusting the snowmobile. A broken track, track fittings, or debris thrown by the track could be dangerous to the oper­ator or bystanders.
8. Handle fuel with care; it is HIGHLY FLAMMABLE.
● Never add fuel when the engine is run-
ning or hot. Allow the engine to cool for several minutes after running.
● Use an approved fuel container.
1
Safety information
● Fill the fuel tank outdoors with extreme
care. Never remove the fuel cap in­doors. Never fill the fuel tank indoors.
● Never refuel while smoking or in the vi-
cinity of an open flame.
● Make sure that the fuel tank cap is
closed securely after refueling. Wipe up any spilled fuel immediately.
9. If you swallow some gasoline, inhale a lot of gasoline vapor, or get some gasoline into your eyes, see your doctor immedi­ately. If any gasoline spills on your skin or clothing, immediately wash your skin with soap and water, and change your clothes.
10. Wear protective clothing. Wear an ap­proved helmet, and a face shield or gog­gles. Also, wear a good quality snowmobile suit, boots, and a pair of gloves or mittens that will permit use of your thumbs and fingers for operation of the controls.

Operation

1. Do not run the engine indoors, except when starting the engine to transport the snowmobile in or out of the building. Open the outside doors; exhaust fumes are dangerous.
2. Be careful where you ride. There may be obstacles hidden beneath the snow. Stay on established trails to minimize your ex­posure to hazards. Ride slowly and cau­tiously when you ride off of established trails. Hitting a rock or stump, or running into wires could cause an accident and injury.
3. This snowmobile is not designed for use on surfaces other than snow or ice. Use on dirt, sand, grass, rocks, or bare pave­ment may cause loss of control and may damage the snowmobile.
4. Avoid operating on glare ice, or on snow which has a lot of dirt or sand mixed in. Operation under such conditions will damage or result in rapid wear of ski run­ners, drive track, slide runners, and drive sprockets.
5. Always ride with other snowmobilers when going on a ride. You may need help if you run out of fuel, have an accident, or damage your snowmobile.
6. Many surfaces such as ice and hard­packed snow require much longer stop­ping distances. Be alert, plan ahead and
2
begin decelerating early. The best brak­ing method on most surfaces is to release the throttle and apply the brake gently— not suddenly.

Maintenance and storage

1. Do not leave the snowmobile on its left side for an extended period of time. Fuel may leak out from the fuel breather hose.
2. Modifications made to the snowmobile not approved by Yamaha, or the removal of original equipment may render your snowmobile unsafe for use that may cause severe personal injury. Modifica­tions may also make the snowmobile ille­gal to use.
3. Never store the snowmobile with fuel in the fuel tank inside a building where igni­tion sources are present such as hot wa­ter and space heaters, an open flame, sparks, clothes dryers, and the like. Allow the engine to cool off before storing the snowmobile in an enclosed space.
4. Always refer to the “STORAGE” section on page 75 if the snowmobile is to be stored for an extended period.
5. Maintain or replace safety and instruction labels, as necessary.

EWS00030
WARNING
Check the throttle, brake, and steering for proper operation before starting the en­gine. (See page 29.)
Engine overheating prevention
system
This model is equipped with a system, which prevents overheating when the engine is idling. When the engine has been idling for 3 min­utes or longer and the coolant temperature has risen above 100 °C (212 °F), the engine automatically stops to prevent overheating.
NOTE:
The headlights, meter lighting, and taillights come on after the engine is started.

Throttle lever

Once the engine is running cleanly, squeez­ing the throttle lever will increase the engine speed and cause engagement of the drive system. Regulate the speed of the snowmo­bile by varying the throttle position. Because

The engine can be started after it stops.
Throttle override system
(T.O.R.S.)
EWS00040
WARNING
● If the T.O.R.S. is activated, make sure
that the cause of the malfunction has been corrected and that the engine can be operated without a problem before restarting the engine.
Control functions
● Be sure to use the specified spark plug
and spark plug cap. Otherwise, the T.O.R.S. will not work properly.
If the throttle bodies or throttle cable malfunc­tions during operation, the T.O.R.S. will oper­ate when the throttle lever is released. The T.O.R.S. is designed to override the fuel injection and limit the engine speed to less than the clutch engagement speed if the throt­tle valves fail to return to the idle position when the throttle lever is released.

Brake lever

The snowmobile is stopped by braking the en­tire drive system. Squeeze the brake lever towards the handle­bar grip to stop the snowmobile.
1. Brake lever
NOTE:
When the brake lever is operated, the brake light will illuminate.
CAUTION:
Make sure that the brake lever end does not project out over the handlebar end. This will help prevent brake lever damage when the snowmobile is placed on its side for service.
The brake lever is equipped with a position adjuster. To adjust the brake lever position:
1. Loosen the locknut.
2. While lightly pushing the brake lever in di­rection (a), finger tighten the adjusting bolt to set the brake lever to the desired position.
